I have an old laptop lying around which I want to repurpose as a cloud music player (one I can control from other devices like Spotify connect). How do I go about achieving this?
I have a Marantz PM6007 integrated amp which already has a DAC built-in, but does not have a USB input. So how do I connect my laptop to this DAC in the cheapest way? Is there any USB to optical converter kind of thing that's available?
Additional query: If I buy the cheapest possible DAC with an optical out, couldn't I connect it to my amp and use the DAC of the amp and bypass the external DAC sound? I'm really not looking forward to spending 10-15 grand if a DAC is the only option.
